The male supporting actor of Kuaichuan is now online

258 Chapter 65
Wang Hanlan never contacted the people behind the scenes, so they were too cautious to take any action. If the matter came to light and involved him, all previous efforts would be in vain.With his current strength, he was simply meat on the old emperor's chopping board.

Tan Che was the biggest loophole in the plan, and Liang was the one who ruined the game.If these two people are not dead, I am afraid that they will become his obstacles.

However, these two obstacles were protected by the old emperor. Although the purpose was to monitor and control them, he couldn't do anything.

After leaving Kyoto and arriving in Jinan, Qi Yuan felt much more relaxed.In the world of Kyoto, Heavenly Dao can't wait to kick her out.

Now without her oppression of luck, it is estimated that Xu Yin will soon go to Kyoto again with the halo of Xu Yin's ineffective heroine at that time.

She didn't want to earn merits, but God insisted on letting her pluck the wool.

"Master Liang has worked hard all the way, and the officials have already prepared a residence." The magistrate of Jinan Prefecture brought the officials to wait for Qi Yuan, and he was exhausted.

Qi Yuan smiled, "Master Lao Zhizhou."

Zhizhou introduced a group of officials, and Qi Yuan returned to his residence after being polite to them.

It's a small courtyard but it's close to the yamen, so it's convenient.

The situation in Jinan Prefecture is indeed as clean and honest as Emperor Zhou Yuan said, and the officials are very cooperative with Qi Yuan's tax reform.

It is impossible for a young man who has just passed the crown for less than two years to be so valued by His Majesty.Besides, tax reform is not a trivial matter, and Emperor Zhou Yuan couldn't be completely relieved.

There must be eyes and ears in the dark. If they think that the sky is high and the emperor is far away, they are stupid. It is estimated that their actions today will already be on His Majesty's desk tomorrow.

Emperor Zhou Yuan valued this tax reform so much, how dare they cause trouble?No one thinks life is long.

Having such scruples made Qi Yuan's life in Jinan Mansion extremely smooth. The business development and tax situation of Jinan Mansion in recent years were placed on Qi Yuan's table as soon as he took office.

Even the imperial decree of Emperor Zhou Yuan just in case did not need to be brought out.

It was much easier for Qi Yuan to flip through the sorted tax revenues. Jinan Prefecture was considered a relatively prosperous prefecture in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and there were many merchants from the north and the south.

However, with the development of commerce, the tax revenue of Jinan Prefecture has not changed much for several years, and there is even a tendency to decline.

Merchants and merchants have made money, and their profits are increasing, but the taxation is not clearly targeted, so merchants who have money but no land to spend are willing to buy land.

This is Qi Yuan's first reaction to the land annexation, which is an omen.

The development of the Great Zhou Dynasty had its own world trend. Although the policy of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce has been improving, the development of commerce still made progress after the situation stabilized.

Setting a reasonable business tax is a good way to manage business within a reasonable scope, and it can also increase a large amount of tax revenue for Da Zhou. As long as it is done properly, this will be a reform with far-reaching significance.

After reading those policy accounts, Qi Yuan went to the counties to observe the business situation more often.

For more than half a year, Qi Yuan wandered around in Jinan Prefecture, which made the county magistrates all over the place tremble with fear.The imperial envoy who was clearly here for tax reform acted like an inspector.

They were afraid that they would be picked up by the people who secretly followed Qi Yuan, and that would really be the end of their official career.

"Master Liang is back." Zhizhou looked at Qi Yuan who was in the government office and said hello.

Qi Yuan nodded and put down his pen, and made some minor adjustments according to the actual situation.

"Master Zhizhou, this is the proposed commercial tax policy. If you don't have any comments, you can start to try it out."

Zhizhou laughed from the bottom of his heart when he heard Qi Yuan's words, as long as the lord doesn't wander around.Although he is confident that there is nothing serious about the Jinan Mansion, if something gets to His Majesty's ears, he will not have a good impression of him.

Things like the commercial tax trial can be put in Jinan Prefecture, which shows that His Majesty is still somewhat optimistic about him, and he still wants to be promoted and return to Beijing.He wouldn't even cry if something happened and he fell short.

"No comment, no comment. I will ask the people in the yamen to post it tomorrow, and it will be released to all counties." Zhizhou said with a bright smile, and he didn't force himself at all.

Qi Yuan handed over the government order in his hand to Zhizhou, and went back to the mansion to rest.

It was spring and summer when Qi Yuan came to Jinan Mansion, more than half a year has passed, and this decree just coincides with the new year.At this time, it was announced that it would be a trial run for one year to see the effect.

The new decree was pasted outside the yamen early the next morning.

The news that the imperial envoy came to Jinan Prefecture and said that tax reforms will be made has long been known.Therefore, as soon as the decree was announced, the number of people at the gate of the yamen gradually increased.

"Old Li, you can read, tell us what is written on it, is it going to increase our taxes?"

"Yes, yes, this won't require a tax increase. If the tax is increased, even if the harvest is good, we are afraid that we will not be able to support it."

Many of the onlookers were farmers. They only knew that it was a tax reform, but they didn't know what kind of tax it was. They were afraid that they would not be able to support their families if the government raised the tax, so they were a little worried.

"Don't worry, it says that taxes will be raised, but it's not the farmers' taxes, it's the businessmen's taxes.

The government gave merchants the qualifications to do business, and the merchants had to pay taxes to the court.Merchants with government qualifications can enjoy some convenience, but the tax is much higher than ours. "Old Li explained with a gray beard.

"Isn't it convenient for those businessmen? All the profiteers, just don't increase our taxes. Why don't those businessmen earn money when they are so rich? We should give them a scrape."

"The tax is good, so they should also pay the tax."

There are not a few such voices among the crowd after learning about the tax content.

And the same news is either happy or sad for those businessmen.

These big businessmen gathered together, each of them was frowning and sighed.

"Those who travel all over the world are risking their lives to earn money. The tax is so high, will we still be allowed to live?"

"I heard that the tax was proposed by the new champion. The emperor sent people to us to try it out when he was happy. Isn't this making fun of us?"

Businessmen, I disagree with every word you say.

"You don't have to be so pessimistic. Although the tax is high, the convenience of the government is not small. If you become an official businessman through this, maybe you can do other business."

As soon as the words came out, everyone looked at the speaker in surprise, other businesses, the salt and iron in the hands of the government, those are the industries of sudden wealth.

Can the imperial court provide them with such an industry?It's really a dream in broad daylight.

"Even if it can't be done, the government and businessmen are better protected than we are now. Besides, I thought about it. The court is determined to reform the tax this time. I heard from my relatives in the yamen that the imperial envoy tax reform plan can be written Three generations of officials and merchants can participate in the imperial examination."
